Fixed-Lens Photo Challenge #050: Big Sky
_______________

For this week’s topic let's go with Big Sky. I love dramatic shots where the sky fills the photograph. Deep Blues, fading pinks and reds, angry grays, fluffy clouds, stormy clouds all can convey a dramatic theme to a photograph. So, show me a photo where the sky dominates the scene. As always great composure and exposure will carry the day. .
_______________


Remember, if you post a photo, you may be the winner. Be prepared to host and judge a new challenge.

To submit, click the button labeled "POST TO THREAD" and put your photo title in the first line of the post, above your photo. Your camera brand and model must appear in the post. Include additional EXIF data, if you like. Note:The host can submit a photo as well participate in the voting...and is encouraged to do so.

Enter just one photo.

Post until Monday noon GMT, 14 October 2019.
